Library - Documents displayed in wrong folder

Hi all
Another strange case:
In a document libarary I have 50 folders. Each of them contain 2-3 documents. My view shows 30 elements per page.
When I go to the next page to view the folders 31-50 everything seems to be OK. But when I go back to the first page again (1-30) the library shows the folders AND the contents of the folders. After reloading the page everything is OK.
Any ideas how to fix this problem?
Thanks.

Hi Hemendra.
Thanks for your reply.
I made the following tests:
- Created a new view on the "corrupt" library - still facing the problem.
- Created a new library and copied all content from the "corrupt" library into it. Also facing the issue.
Now I found out how to reproduce the problem:
1. Create a document library and create the folder "Testfolder" in it.
2. Create another three folders in "Testfolder".
3. Upload a document (f. e. test.txt) into one of the three folders.
4. Change the number of viewable documents per page in the view settings to 2. (to activate the paging)
5. Now open "Testfolder" and switch the pages (2 or 3 times). Now you see test.txt directly in "Testfolder" together with the other 3 folders.
What do you think?

By backing up the iTunes Library via saving the iTunes folder on an external drive, is it also backing up all iPad and iPhone backups as well as App Data and Documents from your devices?

If I backup my iTunes Library by saving the iTunes folder on an external hard drive using the instructions contained in the link below, will it also back up all my iPad and iPhone backups as well as App Data and Documents from my devices? In other words, will it also create backups for the backups? Thank you.
Back up your iTunes library by copying it to an external drive
Furthermore, when it is time to restore the iTunes folder I copied to my external drive to a new iTunes program on my new computer, how will it merge the information once I plug in my iPad or iPhone to that new laptop to sync? If I did the iTunes library backup a couple months ago and I've added documents/music/pictures on my devices since then, what will happen when I try to sync it with the new laptop now working off of the iTunes library backup from a couple months ago since the information is no longer the same? Which information will dominate and thus be kept? Will it delete the new information/data/pictures/documents/music off of the devices since it is not on the iTunes program when it syncs?
Sorry for so many questions, but they are all related to backing up and restoring iTunes. I am not very tech savvy if you cannot tell

It would be a good idea to look into a bigger hard drive. They are not that expensive any more and can save a lot of headach. This is even more important if you are buying music from the iTunes music store. If you lost those files they are gone.
The point of having it on your PC and iPod is to have a backup. If the iPod fails, or you need to go back to the DVDs and find they are scratched, or just can not be read you have lost days of work converting and organizing all of those songs.
Or the iPod could hard drive could fail and then you will have to try to bring all of those files back from DVDs. You end up with a mess since some songs will probably be on multiple DVDs, have different names ect. Trying to reorganize it all can be a pain.

Photo drags to wrong folder

why does photo drag to wrong folder?

You question makes no sense - iPhoto does not "drag" photos anywhere - it works on a SQL database and controls the photo locations correctly - you never access them direcly but always use the provided tools to access the photos - click here for a discussion on the many correct and safe ways to access your iPhoto library photos.

Spotlight lists items and shows preview images. BUT what about showing the path/location address of an item in my computer.
Especially important if I've put the item in the wrong folder and what to locate it without multi-steps. iMac OS X 10.5 was more useful.
Old OSX Spotlight function automatically displayed path/location within the machine: e.g. desktop/folder/sub-folder/item.
Can I make Spotlight show the path?

Press option-command and the path is displayed at the bottom of the little preview window. Press command-return and the enclosing folder opens.

Recorded audio in the wrong folder

I recorded my audio in the wrong folder (they are not in the project folder). I copied them over to my project folder but can't figure out how to link my song file/audio regions to the new location. I tried to set this in the Audio Window by resetting "Set Audio Record Path" but it wants me to give it a new file name (creating a whole new document?)
Can someone help me work this out?

Brian:
Try putting the files back in their original folder location, open up the project, and then use the Project -> Consolidate menu option. If I recall correctly it will move everything into a new specified folder (or an existing folder) and re-reference the paths for you.

Wrong folder

Hi Everyone
Just joined the group.
Have a minor problem.
My BB is sending a copy of my email to the wrong folder on Mac. I am using the latest OS on mac. Previously it was sending to the inbox on my email id where I need it but for reason now its sending to another folder. This happens only when I reply to an email from my BB. Solution please. Thanks

To add onto what Fruhulda said, try saving that document you just opened then Save As… - a quick ⌘ S. That should tell Pages to then save in that folder.
I was trying to test this suggestion by opening a document then savings as without first saving. I then opened a document from another folder & chose Save As… Pages defaulted to the folder from where I opened each document. This may be because I am running Leopard. I see you are using Tiger.

244 random photos suddenly appeared in the wrong folder

I recently imported 8 photos into Lightroom 5.7 using the "2015-05-25 Folder Name" naming system, and I saw the 8 imported photos in the folder. No problems. However, after reopening Lightroom, the folder with 8 photos suddenly has 252 photos. There are 244 random photos from various years and various other folders which are also inside of my main "Photo Library Lightroom" folder. I had been assigning "key wordis" to photos last week, but I am not sure how that could have taken 246 random photos and "shoved" them into the wrong folder. Do I have to manually "refile" the "misfiled" photos, or is there a magic button to get Lightroom to fix this?

One thing that could explain at least most of the situation is that you did a synchronize at a top-level folder then had Move as your Import type instead of Add, as well as Don’t Import Suspected Duplicates UNCHECKED, and LR imported and moved all those photos to whatever your current destination was.
This does sounds like what might have caused the "Move" of 244 random files into the single new folder, but I don't think so.
If the 244 random files were previously imported into LR they would be not selected when doing a 'Synchronize Folder' operation on a top-level folder. 'Synchronize Folder' searches the selected folder and subfolders if 'Show Photos in Subfolders' is checked in the Library menu. Files that reside in the target folders on the HDD that are NOT currently showing inside LR will be imported.
If the 244 random files were NOT previously imported into LR then they would be imported if the 'Synchronize Folder' was performed on the top-level containing folder. Unfortunately I can't duplicate this as I only see 'Add' with the other options grayed out when importing files from numerous subfolders with files that are not showing inside LR. Here's what I see with 'Don't Import Suspected Duplicates' checked or NOT checked:
Even if I select 'All Photos' only the files that are "missing" inside LR are checked for Import. It's impossible to select any other files inside LR or force it to 'Move' the files to a new destination folder.
Steve, is there some mode or setting I'm missing that would allow selecting 'Move' when doing a 'Synchronize Folder' Import?

Try putting the files back where they were before you moved them, then follow the steps in this Apple document -> iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

If I no longer have the old application Backup installed on my Mac (part of the .Mac subscription), do I still need the folder called Backup, that is in my Library in the Application Support folder?

If I no longer have the old application Backup installed on my Mac (for performing scheduled backups of data on the computer), do I need the folder called Backup, that is in my Hard Drive, to Library, to the Application Support folder? (There is no Backup folder in my Home Folder, to Library, to the Application Support folder.)
Backup was part of the .Mac subscription I used to have, and I have not used it since I gave up being a .Mac subscriber many years ago. In fact I recall Apple saying at one point that they no longer supported the Backup Application. I assume the Backup folder is just remnants from when I used to have that application, however I could be wrong, and don't want to trash the folder unwisely.
As I looked through the various items in the Backup folder, nothing appears to be modified since 2007, which further confirms that this folder is from long ago when I used to have that application. I did notice that the main Backup folder itself was the only thing that had a more current modification date on it. That date coincides with the date that I installed Snow Leopard on my Mac earlier this year. But I'm assuming that any operating system software installation will place a modification date on all the various folders of one's computer, with the date the new OS was installed.
Any insight will be appreciated! Thank you!

Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer. As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you. I'm sure you'll pay, however.
Let this be a very important lesson learned.
Best.

Mail app displays the wrong Inbox when you open it.

This problem can be easily reproduced if you have more than one email account configured in iOS 4.x
It should be extremely simple to fix with the next update. I see that this same problem has been mentioned before, but I couldn't update that thread because it's "archived." If you want Apple to fix this, please report the issue to Apple using one or more of the links below:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html (not sure if iPad Mail app is affected)
Here's what I submitted...
Subject:
Simple software design issue in Mail app.
Feedback Type:
Design/Ease of Use
Comments:
Thanks for your work on making iOS better and better with each update! There is no option to provide general iOS feedback, so I'll submit this under "iPhone" and "iPod." I'm currently using the latest iOS (4.3.1).
The native Mail app in iOS has had the Unified Inbox feature since iOS 4.0, which is very useful. However, there is a minor design flaw that could be easily resolved with a software update.
My setup:
I have 3 Exchange accounts on my device (Hotmail, Gmail[Default], Work). The Hotmail Inbox is empty at least 98% of the time because my Gmail account periodically downloads the messages. The only reason I have the Hotmail account entered on my device is to make sure I can see a message in "All Inboxes" even before my Google account retrieves it. On my device, the Gmail account is set as default for Mail and Contacts.
The problem:
I never intentionally select the Inbox for the Hotmail account because it should almost always be empty. I would simply view "All Inboxes." Still, half the time I open the Mail app, it shows the empty Hotmail Inbox. This is very annoying!
I finally figured out how to reproduce it consistently:
(must have more than one account configured)
1) Launch the Mail app and back-up to the screen that shows the list of accounts / Inboxes (I usually try to leave it here when I'm done, hoping to see that screen the next time I open Mail).
2) Without selecting a specific account or Inbox, push the Home button to exit the Mail app.
3) Kill the Mail process from the multi-tasking menu.
4) Open Mail again
Mail will show whichever Inbox comes immediately after "All Inboxes", even if it's not your default account. In my case, it starts in the empty Hotmail Inbox every time...a folder that I never intentionally select. Each time, I have to go back to the list and tap "All Inboxes."
So, if I leave Mail on the root screen before killing the process, it consistently displays the wrong Inbox the next time I open it. If I select an Inbox or "All Inboxes," it will remember that selection and show me that screen the next time I open Mail.
What it should do:
When Mail doesn't know which Inbox to display, it should...
A. Start on the root screen with the list of accounts and Inboxes (preferred option).
or B. Start in "All Inboxes" (secondary preference).
or C. Start in the Inbox of the default account (not preferred, but better than showing an empty/unused Inbox).
Thank you!

Try this...
Launch the Mail app.
Navigate to the "Mailboxes" page (the page that lists all of your accounts).
Tap "Edit" in the top right corner.
Scroll down to the bottom section of the page, titled "ACCOUNTS".
Drag the triple-bars on the right to reorder the accounts listed. The first account listed will be the one that the app launches to.
Hope this helps, I went crazy trying to figure that out and it worked for me.

(every document file of every folder in folder thePath) as alias list

Normally you can coerce Finder object references to aliases. In this case a bug in the Finder is getting in your way.
set aList to get every file of every folder in startFolder
This is returning invalid object references - ones not even the Finder can resolve at a later date.
It seems to drop one level of hierarchy when building the object specifiers in response to that whose clause. You can avoid the Finder bug by using some alternate means of building up the file list.

Hi Bill,
That's not really a bug. In this line:
set aSel to (((every document file in folder thePath) & (every document file of every folder in folder thePath)) as alias list)
two list are being concatenated which returns a list and 'as alias list' doesn't work on lists. You could do this:
set aSel to (every document file in folder thePath as alias list) & (every document file of every folder in folder thePath as alias list)
If there aren't anymore levels, then you can use 'entire contents':
every document file of entire contents of folder thePath as alias list
Note that if only one file is returned, then it will error because of automatic coercion, so it's better to do it your way if you don't know how many files there are. Then, you would use an error handler to trap the error. Here's what I've been using:
try
set aSel1 to (every document file in folder thePath as alias list)
on error from o
set aSel1 to o as list
end try
try
set aSel2 to (every document file of every folder in folder thePath as alias list)
on error from o
set aSel2 to o as list
end try
set aSel to aSel1 & aSel2
There is another way to coerce finder references to something usable in other applications that can't deal with Finder references. You can coerce Finder references to strings using text item delimiters.

Document display do not function to all send requests in SOST

Hi There,
We have this somewhat weird issue about the queues/send requests in SOST for one of our client. When we try click document display, a pop-screen comes out saying that the Folder does not exist!
Do you know to which table are the send requests stored? Why are we getting this issue? I suspect that the actual document may may have been deleted but how and why?
Thanks,
Jennah

Hi Juan,
Thanks for the reply. Actually it is not an old document. Everytime we try to send from SAP and we want to display it we get the error. I have raised this to SAP and finally this got resolved as per SAP note 834221.
From SAP:
Please be informed that this issue may caused by inconsistencies in

I accidentally moved my iPhoto library. Now it says "folder empty" and I can't find any of my photos anywhere. HELP!

I was trying to clean up my startup disk and get some space freed up. I moved a bunch of stuff to my dropbox (temporary measure until I get a backup drive). I didn't realize my iphoto library is actually in my documents folder. I copy the whole folder to dropbox, and then delete the contents on my hard drive. When I go to dropbox and look at my iphoto library, it's empty. Are my photos just gone? Can they be recovered? HELLLLPPP!!!!

By default your iPhoto library is in the pictures folder not the documents folder - you should have it in the pictures folder to avoid errors like this
You probably lost your iPhoto library as generally the iphoto library is corrupted often beyond repair by putting it on DropBox - as a future note NEVER delete any important files until you have verified that you have a good copy -- and also for the future purchase an external drive formatted Mac OS extended (jourmnaled) roughly 2 to 2 1/2 times the size of your main drive and start running TimeMachine all the time so you have hourly local backups
If you do not have a backup then all you can do it drag the iPhoto library back form DropBox to the pictures folder and hold down the option key while launching iPhoto and select the library n the pictures folder - if that does not work then you will have to start over - hopefully your Masters folder is intact and has all of you original photos - to start over drag it to the desktop, trash the messed up library and launch iPhoto to create a new library and drag the folders of photos from the Masters folder to iPhoto to import them

How can I get iTUNES library to display renamed files and folders (renamed with Windows Explorer)?

How can I get iTunes library to display the new names and organisation of tracks and albums (ie files and folders) that I have renamed and reorganised (using Windows Explorer) having previously imported them using iTunes?
(Even when I relocate "lost" tracks in iTunes (using the drop down menu facility to view in Windows explorer), although iTunes will then play the track, and knows where to find it, it refuses to display the track with its correct (new) name, or show it the correct (new) album. That means I have lots of things called "Untitled" and "Track 01" etc, all of which have actually been renamed, but iTunes does not seem to have the capability to recognise the changes and update its library listing. Another example - a Tchaikovsky CD with 3 major works in 13 tracks insists on displaying in iTunes as 13 tracks in one album, despite the fact that I have reorganised the tracks into 3 albums - two being Swan Lake and The Nutcracker - and renamed the individual tracks to a more useable format.)

Thanks for your replies ckuan
I agree with Tgod that your first solution does not work. It appears unpredictable whether the old or new file names are listed when you drag the folders into iTunes from Windows Explorer. The folder structure is completely missing. I reckon if you have to muck around spending days/weeks/months finding out how to fix links to a secret meta-file (obviously designed by some deep-cover microsoft worm working in the Apple!), then it's pretty obvious that almost any alternate way of doing this would be better. Bye bye iTunes!!
Incidentally, I tried several other things that (if the software was designed intuitively) should work, but give disastrous results:
1) when deleting the library listing in iTunes, it gives you two options - one is to remove the listings to the Recycler. Be aware that IF you select that option, it removes not only your library listing, but also your ACTUAL MUSIC FILES to the Recycler. Moreover, it does NOT remove the insidious secret meta-file that is what apparently keeps rewriting old names over your carefully renamed file names, and keeps totally ignoring your carefully designed folder (album) structure. OK - not a complete disaster, as I realised and went hunting through the chaos in the Recycler to recover all my files. No thanks to the genius who designed this brilliant feature!
2) after deleting the library listing in iTunes, I attempted to import just the folders that I wanted. iTunes refused to allow me to do that, and proceeded to try to import every frigging music file it could find on my whole hard drive, in apparently random fashion into the library. Whoever thought up that doozy either never ever tried to use or market test it, or has modified their mind rather too many times with artificial substances so their brain is like muesli chop suey.
3) oh why go on, it's too depressing ...

Routing from Drop Off library - How to maintain same folder structure in target library after routing

Hello,
After routing from drop off library to other target library, how can I maintain folder structure dynamically.
For example
Inside Drop off library user creates folder on monthly basis
1. Drop Off > Feb > Document 1
2. Drop Off > March > Document 1
Now after routing i want to have same folder structure created inside target library. So target should library look like
Target Lib > Feb > Document 1
Target Lib > March > Document 1
Please Note - folder creation in drop off library happens every month, and user can choose any Name for these folders, so here I can not consider Static Routing rules.
Kindly help me out.
Thanks!!!
Mayank Nigam

The content organizer can't do that. If you really need this functionality, you'll need a workflow to do it. But you also need to consider if the use of folders per month is really what you want here. Maybe you'd prefer to use metadata instead of folders
for grouping.
Kind regards,
